Definition

There are two ways to to use the fields RNODE_GUID and RTREE_GUID:

1. To store the GUIDs of a structure you want to include at this node. Then you must use value 'X' in this field.
2. When you want to copy a structure with every node of the new structure pointing to it's original in the source structure you can store these pointers in these fields. Then you use value SPACE in this field.
